In some SharePoint environments, the copyappbincontent command does not work as expected because localization files are missing. This causes unexpected errors in the SharePoint Process Viewer. This is a relatively rare SharePoint issue which is not caused by AgilePoint. However, it may prevent required AgilePoint files from being copied to the SharePoint virtual directory.

To fix this issue:

  1. Copy the required AgilePoint files from the source to the destination listed below. Note that this step must be repeated for each AgilePoint-enabled web application in your SharePoint environment, and for all multi-language versions of the listed files.

    Source

    • C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\CONFIG\Resources\AgilePoint.resx
    • C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\CONFIG\Resources\wfap.resx

    Destination

    • C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\<Port Number>\App_GlobalResources\AgilePoint.resx
    • C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\<Port Number>\App_GlobalResources\wfap.resx
  2. Reset IIS.
